Here's a link to AS' fleet but I wonder how many are ETOPS certified, besides the 737-9 Max? https://news.alaskaair.com/current-fleet/

It looks like 45/59 of the active 737-800s, 40/79 active 737-900ERs, and all 65 737-9 MAXs,

Don’t hold your breath! I was watching a 737-900 last night (SJC-KOA) that was supposed to take me KOA-SAN this morning. It ended up doing a quick turn last night KOA-SEA, and my flight was canceled. I think they’re making decisions on the fly.
Ended up on WN (KOA-HNL-SAN).

I’m speculating a little here, but the 800’s and 900’s I think are subject to weight and balance restrictions when the winter weather is bad (high winds) I’m more referring to the longer hauls like SEA/KOA. I’m surprised to read in this thread that a shorter haul flight like SJC/KOA had an issue.
As a data point ASA 801 11th January SEA/KOA after encountering a two hour maintenance delay at seatac was required to stop in SJC to refuel. It was a B739 which I believe means it was a 900.
My understanding is that the Max’s are less restricted by the above problems.
